Role Research Officer
Dr Nadia Mazarakis is a research officer in the Vaccine Immunology group under A/Prof Paul Licciardi at Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI). Her current research focuses on evaluating the immunogenicity of COVID-19 vaccines as a booster dose in a global randomised controlled trial, funded by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI). Nadia also has an honorary appointment with the University of Melbourne, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, Department of Paediatrics.
She completed her PhD at the University of Melbourne in 2021. Her PhD thesis evaluated the critical biological health-benefiting properties of the dietary compound L-sulforaphane (LSF) in relevant models of inflammatory disease. Prior to her PhD, she completed a Masters of Bioethics at Monash University.
